Imagine stepping outside to see a waterfall of ornaments suspended above you, glowing against the winter sky.
This chandelier-style decoration feels like the centerpiece of a magical Christmas balcony.
The baubles catch every flicker of light, turning an ordinary corner into a place where you could sip cocoa, share stories, and watch the snow fall.
It’s more than décor, it’s a little piece of holiday theater that makes your home feel unforgettable.
Materials Needed
- 1 large wire basket or hanging planter frame (12”-16” diameter)
- 40-60 assorted ornaments (mix of red, gold, silver, 2”-4” sizes)
- Ribbon for hanging (2” wide, 3-4 ft long)
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
- Clear fishing line or ornament hooks
- Optional: battery-operated fairy lights
Step-by-step Guide
Step 1: Flip the wire basket upside down. Then attach a wide ribbon at the top for hanging, tying it securely into a bow for a decorative finish.
Step 2: Begin attaching ornaments to the frame using fishing line or hooks.
Start with larger baubles at the bottom for weight and drama, then fill in with smaller ones around the edges.
Step 3: Layer the colors such as alternate red, gold, and silver for balance and a rich, full look.
Step 4: Continue until the basket looks full, with ornaments cascading downward like a chandelier.
Step 5: (Optional) Weave fairy lights through the basket frame for a glowing effect at night.
Step 6: Hang in your desired spot, ensuring it’s well-secured. Then step back and admire your sparkling centerpiece.
Tip:
You can use shatterproof ornaments for outdoor spaces so your chandelier can withstand wind and winter weather.
